Should local officials encourage the redevelopment of vacant office buildings into new projects?
LNR Partners has scheduled an auction for the Park Plaza office building at 215 Shuman Boulevard in Naperville on November 16, 2026. The property, which sits on 12 acres, is being marketed for potential redevelopment after a foreclosure tied to an $18 million loan.
Why it matters
This auction reflects ongoing shifts in suburban office demand, as the building currently holds only a 17 percent lease occupancy rate. Local commercial real estate values continue to be impacted by a broader regional decline in net absorption and available office inventory.
The Park Plaza office building, which spans 211,000 square feet, carries an $18 million loan and will start bidding at $950,000. Occupancy sits at just 17 percent after Travelers Insurance vacated over half of the space in 2024.
The players
LNR Partners
A special servicer that manages distressed loans and represents bondholders during commercial property foreclosures.
Colliers
A global real estate services firm hired to manage the auction of the 211,000-square-foot Naperville office asset.
Travelers Insurance
A national insurance provider that previously occupied over half of the office space at the 215 Shuman Boulevard site.
Fisher Auction
An auction firm co-managing the sale of the Park Plaza property.
The details
LNR Partners initiated the foreclosure in April 2026 to represent bondholders on the $18 million loan. Because the property is only 17 percent leased, the auction is being marketed as a potential redevelopment play for the 12-acre site. The Chicago suburban office market has seen inventory shrink from 100 million square feet pre-pandemic to 93 million square feet today, as net absorption dropped by 115,000 square feet in the third quarter of 2026.

Money Landscape
This sale occurs as suburban Chicago office inventory has contracted from 100 million to 93 million square feet since the pandemic. It follows a third-quarter 2026 trend where suburban net absorption dropped by 115,000 square feet.
Local property stakeholders should watch the final auction price as a potential benchmark for the valuation of distressed commercial assets in the area. Homeowners and investors in Naperville may want to monitor how this 12-acre site is ultimately repurposed, as redevelopment could influence neighborhood land use and tax revenues.
The takeaway
Commercial property auctions are a common mechanism used by loan servicers to liquidate assets after foreclosure. Readers should track local zoning changes for the site, as future redevelopment plans for the 12-acre property could shift nearby property-tax contributions and neighborhood amenities.
